Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! New year, new music! We discuss new material from Jinjer, Dream Theater, Born of Osiris, Saor (and an extended discussion on nationalism), In Flames, Soilwork, and Astronoid. Plus Genghis Tron being on streaming services and Al Mumin’s repsonse to The HAARP Machine‘s crowdfunder failing. Then, cool people time with Info ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! We’re back! And we’re bringing you new old content! The Haarp Machine crowdfunder, the Arch Enemy debacle, Blood Music disbanding, Baard leaving Borknagar (but new album!) and The Most Feared Song in Jazz, by Vox (but sub to Adam Neely instead!), then cool people time with You (the show), Kingdom: Two Crowns, Atomic Blo ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! After a bit of a holiday break, we return this week with a conversation about some of our favorite albums of the year! We discuss the following categories: best debut, best comeback, worst disaster, best solid album, best boring album, most opaque album, most underrated album, best non-metal album, and best album. Enjoy ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week we have a guest, Tom “Fountainhead” Geldschläger of many talents, including being the guitarist of Amogh Symphony. First we talk about his upcoming projects, like Augmented Reality, but we end up talking a lot about what makes musicians tick, how to survive in the current paradigm of music distribution, and wh ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! Lot of good stuff this week! New Born of Osiris album, new material from Crystal Lake, Maximum the Hormone, Astronoid, Downfall of Gaia, Shokran, Arcadia Libre, Children of Bodom, In Flames, Abominable Putridity, and Grimes. Also a full pro shot live show of Trivium without Matt Heafy. Then we discuss a Decibel article ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! Title doesn’t matter because blogs don’t matter! Apparently. Other than that, we have the obligatory Threatin conversation, then discuss some new #content like Archspire, Born of Osiris, Sarah Longfield, Aenimus, Postwax, Slipknot, Sigh, and Soen. Then we do cool people on Cam, Call of Cthulhu (the game), Homecoming, To ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week I’m joined by Cody again, and we discuss horror movies again! We totally watched 31 horror movies last month, and here’s our post mortem on them! Enjoy! Looking for more content from Eden and Heavy Blog in general? Why not sign up for The Heavy Word, our twice a month newsletter? It includes metal recommendati ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! A bunch of industry news this week! Spotify uniting with Distrokid, revenue shares of services, and ranting about monopolies versus fragmentation. Then some bummer news – Oli from All That Remains passed away, the Ghost members lost their lawsuit, and The Faceless are embarking on a 10th anniversary tour for Planetary D ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! Slow news week, so we go on a lot of tangents. There’s still some new music out there though. Green Day side project The Mermaids, Arsis, Thomas Giles, Psycroptic, The Ocean, and The Dali Thundering Concept/The Algorithm. Then we do some cool people time with Venom and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Enjoy! Looking for more ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week we interview Gabriel from Immortal Guardian and discuss their upcoming album Age of Revolution. This is the video I mentioned in the beginning by the way. Enjoy! Looking for more content from Eden and Heavy Blog in general? Why not sign up for The Heavy Word, our twice a month newsletter? It includes metal rec ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week we have a bunch of weird shit. Dr. Phil performing with Good Charlotte, Betraying the Martyrs covering Avenged Sevenfold, and then some normal news. Like new music from Black Queen, Psycroptic, Cryptopsy, Irreversible Mechanism and Arsis. Also, a feel-good story about The Ghost Inside. Then we do a cool people ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! A bunch of good stuff this week! And some not so good stuff. So pretty usual. New Haken, Irreversible Mechanism, Beyond Creation, Warrel Dane, Immortal Guardian. Sleepmakeswaves covering Metallica. Metalsucks asking who the biggest metal band of the future will be . Devin Townsend “covering” Dream Theater, and a jazz co ...…

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week we are back on track! Bringing that beat back! We had a good time discussing the not-so-real nu-metal revival (thanks to a new Bring Me The Horizon song), the controversy about Michael Jackson‘s posthumous music, Hellenic black metal, Rivers of Nihil‘s Apple Music exclusive video (and how Crispin Wah did it be ...…

So we had some technical issues, and it sucks. But we still salvaged the rest of the cast! We discuss Exocrine, and NPR’s audio quality hearing test. Then we do cool people time, with a lot of discussion on Star Trek: Discovery, Blackkklansman, Sorry to Bother You, and Matt Ruff’s Lovecraft Country. Enjoy! Looking for more content from Eden and ...…

This week, regular co-host Cody joins us for a whole lot of news. And of course I immediately derail it by trolling him. But then, we discuss: Revolver’s 20 essential nu-metal albums list, new music from Dol Ammad, Within the Ruins, Skyharbor, Monuments, Metal Allegiance, Doug Moore of Pyrrhon performing with an orchestra, Neckbeard Deathcamp, ...…

I promise this episode title isn’t about the podcast itself. I think this is one of the better episodes in a while, in fact! We discuss a bunch of new music, including Krisiun, Epica, Born of Osiris, Anaal Nathrakh, Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, and Erra. Then some happenings, like Kvelertak getting a new vocalist, Matt Tuck of Bullet F ...…

Another week, another #content. This week we talk about some news, some releases, and some other random stuff. Serj talking about why they’re not working on a new System of a Down album, Mikael Akerfeldt talking about the upcoming Opeth album, Eden talking about his band Instar‘s new single, the new Pig Destroyer song, and new albums by Obscura ...…

This week we bring you “the content”s in our regular fashion. Shocking. We talk about Apple Music surpassing Spotify in the US, Dol Ammad‘s new album, new Aborted, new Soulfly, new Black Fast, and a few other random topics. Then we spend some time discussing the notion of newer things in music being better due to being able to build up on older ...…

You may be shocked to learn that this episode being late isn’t actually my fault. Anyway, regular co-host Cody joins me this week to discuss literally nothing. Memes are real: Weezer covered Toto‘s “Africa”. New stuff from Chthe’ilist, Defeated Sanity, Obscura and Hoth. Then we do a cool people section on Cody starting to play bass (plus some u ...…

This week we have little new news, so we talk about the year so far. The few news items we have are the new Mask of Judas album, the new First Fragment drummer, and upcoming Black Fast material. Then we talk about a bunch of albums from this year, and play “Will you forget this in 6 month or 6 years”? Finally, cool people time with Vampyr, Broo ...…

This week there’s literally no news, so we just wing it. Comic books, TV shows, video games, and all kinds of other cool stuff (mostly those, honestly)! It’s a stream of consciousness cool people time episode. Enjoy! Looking for more content from Eden and Heavy Blog in general? Why not sign up for The Heavy Word, our twice a month newsletter? I ...…

Maybe it’s time to cancel the podcast? If the allegations of Tidal committing fraud are true, then our days may be numbered. Well, if they’re not, in the meantime, we have stuff to discuss. New material from Babymetal, Obscura, Aegaeon, and live Animals as Leaders. Then we discuss the titular story, and Spotify’s attempts at curation by “hatefu ...…

Me and regular co-host Cody get together and discuss stuff. Cattle Decapitation being nice to students who were discriminated against, Limp Bizkit signing to Napalm Records, The Ghost Inside deciding to continue after their tragic accident, Metallica having some fun live despite Kirk, and Elliot Coleman doing a song for Dragonball Super. Then s ...…

This week we have Eden and Nick, and some stuff to discuss. Not a lot though! Of course, we can’t not mention a certain former Tidal artist having a very public meltdown on twitter. But also some actual metal news! Stuff like Zeal & Ardor, Unreqvited, Ingested, Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, Power Trip demos, oh and also Janelle Monae. T ...…

Me and my regular co-host Cody get together this week to discuss a bunch of things. Periphery leaving Sumerian Records, new material from Deafheaven, Hoth, Bleeding Through, Wolvhammer and Homewrecker. Then we quickly let go of that boring “metal” stuff and start talking about horror movies. Some of our favorites, some interesting modern classi ...…

So due to technical difficulties, my voice on this episode is pretty messed up. I tried to recover it the best I could, and Anthony helped, but it is what it is. Well, at least Eden is audible this time, and he’s around! We discuss the new Nekrogoblikon album, the Behemoth live album, and the new Ghost single. Finally, the Metalsucks article di ...…

This week me and my regular co-host Cody are tired of all the garbage in metal. Marduk, Cirith Gorgor (and not Ungol, like Noyan says accidentally), Meshuggah, Decapitated, just throw it all in the trash fire. Then, more positivity. Cody is really excited about Psycho Las Vegas, which leads to him checking out Wolves In The Throne Room. There’s ...…

Eden is away doing [thing] this week, so we have Cody instead. Of course, I proceed to troll Cody by making the podcast awkward. But hey, we discuss stuff too! We spend a good amount of time discussing Ihsahn‘s disappointing take on the recent happenings in metal and his complicity (including Emperor drummer Faust’s actions). Then how lukewarm ...…

Noyan is away, so Eden hosts fellow blog editor, Nick Cusworth! This gives the two opportunity to talk about stuff that usually doesn’t come up on the cast which they use to shine a light on Jim Grey from Caligula’s Horse releasing a video for the A Capela segment on their latest album, Plini releasing a new track, and a deep dive on the change ...…

The last time I didn’t put links to news stories in the description was over a year ago, let’s see if people will still leave passionate comments asking for the links back again. No, this is totally not an attempt to bait people into increasing our facebook engagement. Anyway, this week we talk about Spotify’s legal woes as outlined by The Verg ...…

This week Eden’s gone so I got Simon instead. We talk extensively about his editorial regarding the Taake incident, trangressions and more. We talk about how black metal’s problematic web of influences is way too wide, and how frustrating that is. Then we cleanse our palates with some new music by Alkaloid, Rivers of Nihil (my review here) and ...…

This week on Heavy Pod Is Heavy Castm we bring even more extra salt. The news is ripe for it! Well, we also talk about new music and stuff. More of Matt (Trivium) streaming, Trivium’s new live video, and Paolo beefing with Phil Labonte of All That Remains. Then, Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under peddling right wing conspiracy theories. Within the ...…

This week we bring some extra salt. We talk about Gibson guitars being on the verge of bankruptcy, peoples’ musical tastes getting calcified in their teen years, me being nominated for an innovative guitarist contest (and other amazing musicians, so go vote and check them out!), and discussing new or upcoming material from Ihsahn, Between the B ...…

I’m sick this week, so excuse the voice and rambling. But hey, rambling makes for a fun podcast! Specifically, we ramble about promos that get sent out way too early, bands that lose their spark over time, and those weren’t even really topics we intended to discuss! But we also talk about new music, like Tesseract, Augury, Augury, Barren Earth, ...…

Unfortunately I don’t have a fun or a dab-inducing dank reference for the episode title this time. Just a regular old episode. We discuss new music. Mike Shinoda‘s EP, Justin Timberlake‘s album, Cyclamen‘s new album, Misery Index‘s single, Judas Priest‘s new song, yndi halda‘s EP, and August Burns Red‘s Messengers Remixed. We also talk about Ma ...…

This week we do the promised Deep Segment on After the Burial! They’re one of my favorite bands and I have a lot to say about them, so it takes quite a while. We dig into their career and talk about it all. We barely have time for news, but we do discuss a few items. Namely Avenged Sevenfold protesting the Grammys, Converge politely trolling a ...…

Ok, I’m back for real and we’re back on track! We have a bunch of new music and album announcements! Between the Buried and Me, Cynic, Obscura, Machine Head, Arkona, Zeal & Ardor, and Aviations. Also, we discuss the upcoming Lords of Chaos movie based on the book chronicling the rise of black metal, and reminisce as Century Media turns 30. Then ...…

The first episode of 2018 has to be a shitshow right? Noyan is away moving coasts (like, literally moving several coasts, not changing apartments), so we have Simon instead. Eden’s power cuts out several times during recording, both of them have terrible opinions and hilarity ensues. They did get around to talking about stuff like new music fro ...…

This week we continue our album of the year deliberations by whittling the list of releases we cared about this year down to an ordered 10 and look back on the year! It was challenging but entertaining, so enjoy! By the way, the NYN album Entropy: Of Chaos And Salt is finally out, so check it out! 109- AOTY 2017 Part III: Top 10 https://s3.amaz ...…

This week we continue our album of the year deliberations by whittling the list of releases we cared about this year down to a lean 20. Next week, we’ll finally decide on our list of ordered 10 and maybe look back on the year. Your homework is to listen to these albums and let us know what you feel. Enjoy! By the way, the NYN album Entropy: Of ...…

It’s the time of the year! We’re discussing our favorite albums of the year, or more specifically, the albums that are most worthy of discussion. Before we jump into the meat, we talk about two news items – Hark calling it quits and this very cool neural network paper that talks about generating The Dillinger Escape Plan and Krallice music usin ...…

End of the year, so there’s not a lot of news! Shokran covering Linkin Park, Arkona teasing a new album, a new Portal track, Gene Simmons getting banned from Fox News. Decibel’s weird top 40 of the year. Then we discuss why I didn’t enjoy the new Xanthochroid releases and what merit they may have regardless. We introduce a new segment: “Game Ch ...…

Strap in for another ugly one. Malcolm Young of AC/DC has passed away. Eddie Hermida of Suicide Silence/All Shall Perish has been accused of sexual misconduct and responded. The Faceless brought forward even worse allegations to Inanimate Existence and dropped them from their tour, which lead to an absolutely embarrassing shitshow from the fans ...…

Yay normal episode! This week we have a bunch of weird/grim news to talk about. Jay-Z suing journalists, Taylor Swift suing journalists, Marilyn Manson pointing a fake gun at an audience after a shooting, Jesse of Brand New being accused of sexual assault. Then some new music, like Impureza and Bloodshot Dawn. Then we talk about what we’ve been ...…
